Abaqus user connector element?

Submitted by jandre on

Dear All,

I'd like to know your advise on the following problem:

I'd like to model the behaviour of steel column to steel beam joints using a phenomenological model. I'm using connector elements to do this, namely UNIVERSAl and JOIN connectors.

In the connector behaviour I'd like to model the non-linear behaviour of the joint considering the loading, unloading and reloading (in the opposite directions, stress sign). The loading and reloading curves are different.

python, abaqus, inp file

Submitted by jandre on

Hi All!

My problem is quite simple:

I need to change (add arguments) to a inp file, then submit the inp file
for analysis and finally to
read some results from the odb file.

I choose to use python (not the PDE provided by abaqus CAE but the
general python GUI). I’m sure this choice has consequences, perhaps the
import abaqus won’t work? This could bypassed if I run my code using abaqus python in the command window.

PhD Scholarship: Structural vibration analysis and computational mechanics

One scholarship is available for a PhD student to pursue research in the School of Engineering at the University of Waikato towards the development of a general analytical procedure for vibration analysis of complex structures. In modelling solid bodies with voids, we will consider treating the voids as embedded negative bodies.

The successful candidate will work with:

Professor Sinniah Ilanko and Dr Yusuke Mochida (University of Waikato, New Zealand)

Implementation of p-p Interactions in Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Submitted by Azadeh Sheidaei on

Dear All,

I want to simulate polymer system that have pi-pi interaction between


chains and reinforcements. I know there is no implemention of pi-pi


interaction in lammps.


So, Is there another method to consider pi-pi interaction in lammps? or


I can't simulate these system by lammps.




Regards,


Azadeh

FEAP - history variables for Elements

Submitted by Mubeen on

Hi all,

my question is about the history data storage in FEAP.

I am writing element subroutine (elmt01) in FEAP 8.3  for a history dependent problem.

I have written the stiffness matrix subroutine (stiff01), but it needs the data from the previous solution steps (previous strains, stresses, plastic strains, dislocation densities .... nh1,nh2=30 per point).
